Well i started listening to metal when i was 8 years old, i cant remember what i used to listen before that, but i guess pretty much whatever they played on the radio, so one day my father and i went to a record store and i saw Holy Diver on tape, i liked the cover so much that i asked my dad to buy it for me, so he did. i remember listening to that tape everyday while i was doing my homework, i didnt know if it was metal or whatever, for me it was just music, so my dad and i went to that records store several times and i always picked up my albums based on the cover art, like somewhere in time, rust in piece and even some poison album, it was two years later when i was on a bus going to a school trip, when i met a kid who had some Iron Maiden albums with him, so we became friends, and also he had some Kerrang magazines, and the term Heavy Metal became part of my language.
Since then i listened to a lot of diferent kinds music, but metal has always been in my playlist, even more when i started playing guitar, i remember that all the kids that i used to play with were so obssessed about Dream Theater, and i was just like... yaeh theyre cool, but lets play some fucking riffs, until one day i couldnt take it anymore and said: you know guys? Dream Theater sucks!!! played the solo from metropolis and told them that i wasnt going to keep playing those stupids songs anymore and i quit the band.
So i think that there is no particular reason as to why i listen to metal, other than it just kick ass, there is no other genre in music wit so much power, brutality or grimness like metal, it can make you feel all sorts of emotions, friends have come and gone, alot of things in my life have changed, even i have changed, but Metal have always been there.
